They wonder why we're stuck with football louts
Now we've got no pride, no industrial clout
No steel, no mines, no ships to build
No production lines, no contracts filled
Unskilled unemployment going through the roof
Depression, suicide, disaffected youth
They put more money in the NHS
To disguise how it's all in such a mess, yeah

Well crthur, he ain't got much hair
But when it comes to the workers at least he cares
Let's tax the rich to help the poor
Take the fat-cat bosses and show them the door
Plough profits back to support the growth
Of the poor who work, not the rich who loaf
Tressell was right when he slapped our wrists
We're ragged trousered philanthropists, yeah

You've got fire in your heart and you know it's true
If you don't stop them then they'll get you
They seduce you with stats and lies damned lies
cs they pull the wool right over your eyes
So clear your head and see the catch
That the poor stay poor so the rich can stay rich
Don't obscure the deeper wisdom
Fight for a fairer social system.
